Default Smoking RS

Started my car this morning and had the usual white condensation smoke, by the time i had travelled 2 miles to work I was leaving behind a huge blue cloud! Sure enough not much oil left in the engine either. Took this pic of where the turbo joins the downpipe, it shows some oil around that area and it had also dripped down on the starter too.



Am I correct to assume its most likely to be Turbo seals? And if so what can I do next and why is it deeping from the downpipe? Pressure? The water and oil hasn't mixed so i'm hoping to rule out headgasket failure or cracked head etc etc.

I posted this is the by model forum but seems dead in there!
